Colt 1917 with shades of Skeeter and Dobe Grant.
Went to the gunshow this morning to try and kill some time, I haven't been to one in nearly a year. We were on the last aisle about to leave when I saw this. the guy had it built in the 70's on a 1917. It is still a .45 ACP, new barrel that the gunsmith turned down, looks like a Ruger front sight with material added to the top then the red insert installed. N frame rear sight milled in the top strap. He said he added a New Service target Trigger, and it has a nice DA action job, the SA is heavy but serviceable. Overall someone did a decent job on it. It isn't a Bowen but I paid less than a Used Glock sells for so don't think I did too bad.
